Tucker Carlson: “I would like you to do me a favor …”

By BRUCE LOWITT

Tucker Carlson apparently has asked favors of Vladimir Putin, Anthony Fauci and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez among others as well as Hunter Biden, according to e-mails reportedly recovered from Carlson’s computer at FOX News.

The alleged e-mails revealed that most of the requests by the host of Tucker Carlson Tonight, FOX’s prime-time cauldron of bile, were turned down.

Carlson initially denied knowing anything about the e-mails, then claimed they were fabrications created by former FOX news host Megyn Kelly, saying she had sneaked into his office and used the computer in an attempt to unseat him.

But Kelly said she couldn’t have created them because “I’d never go into his office for fear of catching whatever diseases he has. Who knows what’s festering on his keyboard?”

Carlson then refused further comment.

In the e-mail allegedly sent to Putin in June 2016, Carlson asked the Russian president for details on how to “get in on the deal Donald (Trump) has going with you on that Moscow hotel. Can you set me up with one of your oligarch friends?”

Putin replied: Да пошел ты, богатый мальчик. (Fuck you, rich boy.)

In his alleged 2019 e-mail to the chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden (and President Trump before him), Carlson wrote: “Dear Mr. (sic) Fauci. I’ve been having these headaches and ringing in my ears and occasional delusions and I’ve been told by a colleague named Molly in my office that I should be taking methylenedioxymethamphetamine and that you can get it for me without my having to get a prescription.”

Dr. Fauci did not respond to Carlson’s e-mail but forwarded it to Anne Milgram, administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration.

In an e-mail last year to Ocasio-Cortez, Carlson allegedly said he knew that she had “once worked in several Porto (sic) Rican restaurants in the South Bronx” and that he owned several abandoned properties there and wanted to open “a small chain of bistros” and needed someone to cut through the red tape and get him the right permits. “One of the people who works in the kitchen in our (Florida) home said I should call it El Cerdo Apestoso. What do you think?” he asked Ocasio-Cortez.

The Democratic congresswoman, responding to press inquiries, said she declined his request “but the name of the restaurants is perfect for him.”

In 2014 Carlson and his wife, Susie, hoping to get their son, Buckley, into Georgetown University, asked Hunter Biden, a Georgetown graduate and son of then-Vice President Joe Biden, to write a letter of recommendation.

Hunter Biden and the Carlsons were neighbors in Washington, D.C., then, and Biden, in a return e-mail, agreed to write the letter if the Carlsons promised “to keep your dogs from shitting all over my lawn.”

Buckley Carlson ended up enrolling at the University of Virginia. Since 2019 he has been on the staff of Rep. Jim Banks, R-Indiana, and the House Republican Study Committee, both of which are shitting all over Democracy.

Several other e-mails apparently sent by Carlson were blocked by the recipients and someone deleted the texts of the messages, but a search revealed subject lines which included:

Mitch: Judge Ginni?

Gaetz: Daughters: Off limits!

Kevin: Need more Jan. 6 souvenirs

Rupert: Raise?
